## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "transfer_token",
    "arguments": {}

## Why transfer_token is rated Critical

Token transfers on blockchain networks directly move monetary value. An AI agent with misuse of this tool could transfer user funds to unauthorized addresses, resulting in irreversible loss of financial assets. This is classified as Financial rather than Destructive because it primarily moves assets rather than destroying them, though the impact is severe.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Transfer ERC20 tokens to an address' - this moves cryptocurrency/tokens between addresses, which constitutes a financial transaction."

## Use case

AI agents use transfer_token to commit financial operations through EVM MCP Server, usually the final step of a payment, billing, or trading workflow. A call moves real money.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "transfer_token": {
      "deny_if": [
        {
